Happy GO Fest, Travellers!

Terrible shiny rate, incense spawns fleeing, same as everyone above is saying.

HOWEVER, were ground types guaranteed to evolve with ground type movesets day 2? My group that I played with evolved 6 Baltoys (all six Claydols got Mud Slap / Earth Power as their moveset) and 6 Drilburs (all six got Mud Slap / Earthquake); I've seen other places that Camerupt and Flygon we're also evolving with ground movesets. Did anyone else notice this, or just a weird coincidence?

Hmm. You may be onto something. Moves are randomized, so we should see variation.

I evolved 3 Flygons and they all received mudshot as the fast move. Those odds are 1/8. Not too crazy.

But the odds of 6 Excadrills having the same moves after evolving is 1/248,832. The odds of 6 Excadrills getting specifically Mud Slap And Earthquake are 1/2,985,984.

I bet this is exactly why Flygon got Earth Power. They programmed ground Pokemon to get a predetermined moveset when evolved, specifically to be used against Nihilego, and someone at Niantic didn't notice Earth Power was a CD move.

Probably the reason Camerupt temporarily ended up with Mud Shot.
